Research
Christina's research interests surround the relationship between brain-behavior connections and the influence of early brain insult and vulnerability on psychological and behavioral outcome. As a member of Dr. Sarah Raz's neurodevelopmental lab, her current research follows preterm (< 34 weeks gestation) children into preschool (3-4 years) and early school age (ages 5-7) with the aim of developing a better understanding of the long-term impact of early biological risks on neuropsychological functioning.
